Today, we announced an agreement to acquire GitHub, the world’s leading software development platform. I want to share what this acquisition will mean for our industry and for developers. The era of the intelligent cloud and intelligent edge is upon us. Computing is becoming embedded in the world, with every part of our daily life...

I personally feel that if any company is going to acquire GitHub, Microsoft is probably one of the best choices. Their company culture has certainly changed immensely in the last 5 or so years. Time will tell if this is for the best, but considering that GitHub has never really been profitable, they were going to be swallowed by someone big eventually... or would have had to shut down.
